Today will indeed be interesting. Pilots and flight attendants will meet with the italian labour minister at 1800CET. The minister has said on national tv, however, that the offer on the table cannot be changed anymore and that the discussion will have the form of 'take it or leave it'. The fact that another four unions have basically accepted the deal will mean that there is a huge amount of pressure on them. If they say no they will undoubtedly get the blame for the failure of the rescue plan, wich would be only partially true.
All unions in AZ have shot themselves in the foot by not going along with the AF offer and believing the demagogue retoric of their 'great leader' Silvio Berlusconi. They have helped him into power and now risk being stabbed in the back by the same guy...
The fuel supplier for AZ in Italy, ENI, is not going to be patient for much longer and the italian aviation authorities have threatened to suspend AZ's AOC if it cannot guarantee adequate funding for fuel payments.
Let's see what happens... Good luck guys.
